Possible implementation to the forums...Track threads, notify of updates.

[Elsien]

Would there be any way to add a feature that notifies you of threads that you posted on being 'updated' - or having another post added? Or have the feature be customizable such as:
() Notify me of updated threads that I created.
() Notify me of updated threads that I have posted on.
() Notify me of updated tracked threads.

Or there could simply be () Notify me of updated tracked threads.
And allow the user to select whichever threads he/she desires to be tracked.

To inform the user there could be a simple little notification in the upper right corner of the screen (in the space along with user name, unread threads, etc.)
That simply reads 5 Newly updated threads.

I find it inconvenient when I post on multiple threads and then the next day or later the same day I want to check them and I find myself forgetting which threads I have posed in. Sometimes even going as far as to entering my CP and searching 'search threads elsien has posted in'

Just an idea, I am not sure if you have the means necessary to be able to pull off something like that or not. It would be an amazing implementation in my opinion and I am sure that a lot of people will agree.

Such a feature already exists. When viewing a thread, click the "thread tools" button at the top, then click "Subscribe to thread." The forum gives you the option of having notifications sent to you by email or in your User CP.
